Does Jay Z like wearing women's clothing? Uh, we don't think so. But recently, Jay was spotted wearing a black Rodarte jersey that's reportedly part of an upscale clothing collection for women. And while Hov didn't look too ridiculous in the $450 jersey—it looked like a Carolina Panthers football jersey from afar—it was kind of weird to see him rocking something that was originally created for someone like his wife Beyoncé.

Regardless, quite a few rappers in the past have boldly shopped in the ladies' section for clothes. From Lil Wayne and his jeggings to Young Thug and his now-infamous dress, check out 10 rappers who've been accused of wearing women's clothing.

The Rapper: Lil Wayne
The Women's Clothing He Wore: During the MTV Video Music Awards in August 2011, Weezy performed while wearing a pair of extra tight cheetah pants. It was later revealed that they were actually women's jeggings.
How Ridiculous Did It Look? Very. Like, did he really need to wear a belt with those pants? It was pretty clear that they weren't going to go anywhere.

The Rapper: Jaden Smith
The Women's Clothing He Wore: Like Lil Wayne, Will Smith's son wore a pair of women's pants during a performance at the Grammy Awards back in February 2011.
How Ridiculous Did It Look? Because Jaden Smith isn't as popular as Wayne, his pants didn't get quite as much attention as Wayne's later did. But his pants did inspire the Washington Post to write a story about how many male performers, including Justin Bieber, were turning to women's pants back in 2011. "I've worn women's jeans before because they fit me better," Bieber said at the time. "I just think that whatever works, works."

The Rapper: Kanye West
The Women's Clothing He Wore: While sitting in the front row at a show during London Fashion Week in February 2012, Ye was wearing a mint green sweater that was originally designed for women.
How Ridiculous Did It Look? Not at all. Over the years, Kanye has been spotted wearing women's sweaters and blouses on a number of different occasions. But he always manages to pull off the looks and doesn't seem to care about whatever outrage he causes by dressing in women's clothing.

The Rapper: Young Thug
The Women's Clothing He Wore: Back in March, the Atlanta rapper admitted that the leopard-print "shirt" that he had been photographed in earlier this year was actually a girl's dress.
How Ridiculous Did It Look? We don't know what was more ridiculous—that he wore the dress as a shirt or that, after admitting that it was a dress, he said that he thought other rappers were going to start wearing dresses as shirts, too.

The Rapper: A$AP Rocky
The Women's Clothing He Wore: Young Thug isn't the only rapper who has reportedly worn a dress in the past. Rocky was also spotted in what looked like a dress during an episode of BET's 106 & Park back in December 2012.
How Ridiculous Did It Look? Because of the coat that he wore over it, the dress in question actually looked like a really long shirt. So it wasn't as crazy as it could have been if he had taken his coat off.

The Rapper: Mos Def
The Women's Clothing He Wore: Earlier this year, an image of Mos wearing a multicolored "wrap" in South Africa surfaced on Twitter and many people assumed that it was some kind of skirt.
How Ridiculous Did It Look? Initially, pretty ridiculous. It became slightly less ridiculous when Mos explained exactly what he was wearing. But we still never imagined that we would see him wearing this outfit when he first debuted back in the late 1990s.

The Rapper: Diddy
The Women's Clothing He Wore: During a concert in Scotland back in September 2010, Diddy put on a kilt for his entire set.
How Ridiculous Did It Look? This wouldn't have looked so strange if Diddy hadn't tried to make it look so damn cool. Additionally, other rappers like Kanye West and Kid Cudi beat him to the punch by wearing kilts first. So he looked ridiculous simply because he jumped on a trend that other artists had already tried to pull off.

The Rapper: Lil B
The Women's Clothing He Wore: When he shot a video for his song, "Got the Mack Loaded," back in October 2011, the Based God wore some ridiculously large women's earrings.
How Ridiculous Did It Look? Did he steal these out of his grandmother's jewelry box?! Technically, these aren't a piece of "clothing," but we couldn't leave these off the list.

The Rapper: Cee-Lo
The Women's Clothing He Wore: A wedding dress. Wait, a wedding dress? Yes, a wedding dress.
How Ridiculous Did It Look? Do we really have to answer that? We're guessing that Cee-Lo did this to get people talking about Gnarls Barkley when he agreed to wear the dress in early 2008.

The Rapper: Lil Wayne
The Women's Clothing He Wore: Wayne deserves two spots on this list. And that's because Jay Z isn't the first rapper to wear a women's sports jersey. In April 2011, Wayne wore a Skylar Diggins' jersey to support the women's basketball player.
How Ridiculous Did It Look? Pretty ridiculous, but it wasn't because of the jersey. What was up with those "shorts" and—ugh!—those socks?
